A Message from The Board Chair

And The Executive Director

Touchstone Family Association is celebrating a milestone, 35
years of building community and strengthening family. This
35th year will also be a reflection and vision as we move
forward. It is a year to celebrate with those who are responsible
for the successes we have achieved and challenges we have
overcome. Our vision continues to forge our path; it is our goal
to help build strong, resilient families. That includes the
Touchstone Family. From our Board to our staff we have been
growing ‘up’ together – raising each other and our own

children. Many of our Board, staff and volunteers have
‘matured’, very nicely we might add, while working on behalf
of children, youth and families. Our community partners have
been strong supporters of our organization and our families for
35 years. We have built strong relationships which have been
integral to our work and successes. Touchstone would not be
where it is today without the relationships we have fostered
over the years with our community partners and all three levels
of government.

In our 35th year we ask you - our friends - to join the
“Touchstone Family” in celebrating the strength and resilience
of family – the first community we all belong to.

Sincerely,

Maria Salzl, Judy Valsonis,
TFA Board Chair Executive Director
